There’s a question I have to ask myself as we launch this new evolution of the website / podcast / forum that you’re looking at today. It’s a question that should be asked before you jump off of any cliff: What the hell am I thinking?

I am a married man, with two little girls that I cherish beyond words and a wife that is more understanding and devoted then I deserve. My best friend lives within a half hour drive, and we make excuses to hang out together whenever possible. I have a pretty good job that affords me most of the luxuries I need, but I’ve managed to cling to the wild aspirations of youth by sneaking away to write the next Great American Novel. In other words, I’m happy, content, and very, very busy. All these things represent the backbone of the question that is weighing on me tonight. What the hell am I thinking?
